This document contains information on the files needed to replicate analyses presented in "Be Explicit: Identifying and Addressing Misaligned Goals in Collaborative Research Teams," by Nicholas Haas.

Software Statement

I use the following software to conduct my analyses:

1. Stata/BE 17. See https://www.stata.com/products/which-stata-is-right-for-me/ for more on Stata products.

2. As explained at the beginning of the Stata code ("Analysis_Rep.do"), my Stata analyses require the installation of a number of packages, including: rowranks, splitvallabels, and catplot.

Description of Files

To facilitate replication, I provide access to the following files:

1. "Dataset_StudyPart.dta". This contains the dataset required to run the Stata do file from the replication file and as pertains to analyses of study participants. Please note that to be compliant with data sharing permissions and to protect participants' anonymity, we only include information required to replicate analyses in the replication file.

2. "Dataset_OP.dta". This contains the dataset required to run the Stata do file from the replication file and as pertains to analyses of members of the collaborating OP. Please note that to be compliant with data sharing permissions and to protect participants' anonymity, we only include information required to replicate analyses in the replication file.

3. "Analysis_Rep.do". This file contains code to replicate analyses presented in the paper.  

4. "Codebook.pdf". This file contains information on the variables contained in the datasets and which are used for analysis.
